Roland SRX Studio

The Essentials to Know About SRX STUDIO Software

• An ultra-comprehensive "studio-ready" palette: expressive pianos, crystalline guitars, refined winds, solid basses, and punchy drums, with natural room resonance.


• SRX Heritage: inspired by the third SRX expansion, featuring 1605 waveforms, 128 patches, and 12 rhythms to cover the essentials of modern productions.


• Roland Authenticity: DCB (Digital Circuit Behavior) technology reproduces the nuances and character of the original sounds.


• Quick mixing: built-in effects (Reverb, Chorus, and 78 multi-effects) and unlimited saving of your custom sounds via user banks.

What SRX STUDIO Is For

SRX STUDIO is a virtual instrument plug-in designed to quickly build credible and "mix-ready" arrangements in your DAW. It targets productions where effective and versatile session sounds are needed: pop, rock, R&B, funk, film music, jingles, premium demos, and sound design. Thanks to timbres captured with a natural studio ambiance, it integrates easily into a mix, and the use of multiple instances allows coverage of an entire track (rhythm, harmonies, pads, bass lines, and melodic elements) with immediate sonic coherence.

Main Features

A library designed for "essential" instruments

Inspired by Roland's waveform expansion range, SRX STUDIO gathers detailed recordings made in professional studios, focusing on instruments that make a difference in a production: expressive pianos, precise guitars, clean winds, firm basses, and impactful drums. The goal is clear: to obtain realistic and effective sounds without spending hours "crafting" the material before composing.

The character of classic SRX, adapted to the current workflow

Before virtual instruments became widespread, Roland keyboards and modules (such as the JV-1080, XP-80, XV-5080, and many others) were a reference for accessing varied and high-quality sound banks via easy-to-install expansions. SRX STUDIO continues this legacy by making these tones accessible directly as a plug-in, at the heart of your projects, with instant recall within the session and quick editing from a dedicated interface.

DCB technology and intuitive editing

DCB (Digital Circuit Behavior) technology aims to restore the personality of vintage sounds by combining original waveforms with advanced modeling of the components and circuits of physical instruments. You benefit from an intuitive user interface and detailed parameters to adjust your timbres, plus the ability to save unlimited customizations within the plug-in, so you can recall your settings from project to project.

Built-in effects for a mix-ready sound

SRX STUDIO includes a complete effects section to quickly shape the space for each sound: Reverb, Chorus, and a wide selection of multi-effects. This is a major asset for speeding up production, especially during writing, client demos, or tight deadlines, while maintaining a coherent and musical output.
